Had a chance to go to Amsterdam this weekend for a conference and in between some time to meet up with friends. I am amazed at how friendly people in the Netherlands are.. or maybe I am just a tourist and I just think so.Luckily we could stay at a friend's house in Utrecht, not really far from Amsterdam about 25 minutes with an Intercity train.
The conference was really inspiring and really motivating .. however also very frustrating at some point. In one of the lectures it was about the advantages of Montessori schools versus classical schooling. My colleague told the lecturer that she is very aware of the advantages of Montessori teaching but she just could not afford to send her son to a Montessori school because at least it remains to be an elitist school.The lecturer did not know what to say and just said I don't know...The lecturer was a representative to United Nations even... hmmm..
